Unholy Treasure

In cages, vaults, and treasure chests, behind an oaken door well barred lay pearls and diamonds, amethysts, and once live things, which he had scared. Oh yes, he loved them all to death in cages, vaults and treasure chests even those who had lost their breath were mauled, caressed and had no rest. Each doll-like corpse now sat as guest within the horror chamber's store in cages, vaults and treasure chests upon silk cushion on the floor. One day he'd die and lie entombed draped with jewels without protest in this vault where specters loomed in cages, vaults and treasure chests.

What do jewels matter when we're gone? Eerie and thought-provoking. I added some of your poems to my favs. I don't know if you know when people do that. (I'm new here.)
